Don't fear the diesel.
My local MB dealer has no problem servicing my Navion on the Sprinter cab chassis. Maybe not always nearby, but many MB dealers will service the motorhomes, and there are plenty of independent shops that also do them. Plus some Freightliner shops do, too.
Where I live diesel is around C$1/litre, doesn't go up or down much, and regular is up around C$1.08 to C$1.15 per litre. YMMV, of course. I get an average of 15mpg @ 65mph when solo, and about 2 mpg less when pulling my Wrangler. If I paid 10% to 15% more per gallon for diesel, but was getting around twice the fuel economy, well, you can do the math.;)
More smaller class C units (24' to 26.5') are switching over to the Sprinter cab chassis. Thor (Tiburon), Winnebago(View/Navion/Vita/Porto), Jayco (as mentioned above), Pleasure Way, LTV, Dynamax (Isata), Forest River (Sunseeker) are all built on the MB 3500 Sprinter cab chassis. They're quieter too, without the Ford doghouse engine noise right hext to you in the cab.
So, you've got a lot of options, and the determining factor would be finding the right floorplan that fits your needs, and there are plenty of floorplans to choose from with all those makes/models out there.
Someone suggested renting a couple (or three?) of these units and see if one works better for you, than another. Good advice.
Good luck with it.
